This hike is in Jonathan Dickinson State Park. First let me explain a few things. I am an annual Florida State Parks pass holder. I went to the front gate and got my "Entry Receipt" for the day, before I did this hike. There is no public entrance where I entered the park. There is no place to park there either.
